Throughout this sermon series we are looking at 4 examples of parenting in God’s Word. In this passage of God’s Word, we see Samuel handing over the leadership of Israel. As he does, he gives Israel one last message. Although not perfect, by taking a look at this last message that Samuel has for Israel, we can learn how we can leave a legacy of faith to our children:
